First off, Jeremy Stephens at any point his career has never been better than a gatekeeper.
He's so not good at all, it would be even illogical to think of him as a gate keeper.
Clay Guida is a gatekeeper. Jeremy Stephens is a tier below.
After MMA got mainstream, then on to FOX, and then onto ESPN, people started acting like these fighters became super stars and suddenly their lives were on the line, and as if they were saving humanity from persecution.
Newsflash, cops put their lives on the line. Firefighters put their lives on the line. Soldiers put their lives on the line. And so on. Not fighters fighting with a watchful eyes of the referee, commission and at ready medical professionals.
More people die just commuting to work from their homes.
And no, they fight for themselves, not you not me, not them. They aren't going to be there for you when you are broke, homeless, falsely accused of crime that you didn't commit, and so on, which may very well at happen at one point in your life, though it may look rosy now.
Jeremy Stephens shouldn't be talking about death and shit like that against an opponent or his family. It is a pos thing to talk about an opponent's family for not being violent.
And one thing that's positive about following the sports is, that people act like fighter A is a legend, this tough, amazing fighter, athlete or godsend and whatnot. It's like BMF title. No one in their right mind would have spend in a single second of their life thinking that Masvidal or Nate Diaz would be a BMF, in their own state. Not the country, not the world, but in their own state.
Jeremy Stephens is a tier or two or three below those guys. He ain't a legend. He ain't much of anything. He should stfu and not talk threatening shit against non trainined people, or even his opponent for just getting pissed off.
